In a few serious cases relating to spice, or synthetic marijuana, three people have been greatly effected. The people effected are around their teenage and twenties years. The people effected have been hospitalized with the reason being kidney failure or related. Their symptoms included regurgitation and posterior pain. As far as can be determined, the cause leading to this hospitalization is a contaminated batch of blueberry spice. In response, attempts have been made to outlaw specific chemicals in spice. Thus far, outlawed chemicals have been ineffective is preventing smoking of spice. people are now working to outlaw entire groups of compounds. People have been smoking the spice because it is coated in THC like chemicals, and produces a high effect without showing up on drug tests. The cases reported have been in Casper, Wyoming in the last few weeks.
Spice still has much unknown, so the future conditions of the patients can not yet be determined. Now, perhaps more research and specific procedures will be applied when it comes to spice. Spice, which is a lesser form of JWH, another form of synthetic THC, can also have other bad outcomes and side effects. It can destroy the receptors. It can also have harmful byproducts unknown yet.
Personally, I feel that it is ridiculous that people who can no longer smoke marijuana due to drug tests, are then pressured to smoke an artificial substance. Because spice in a designer drug, it is not surprising that the contamination happened, and also, will probably happen again. The outbreak has not yet become widespread, so it is unlikely that there will even be an effort made to recall the product.
